A heavy, slanted sans with a clearly monolinear build and rounded, softened corners. Strokes are sturdy and even, with open apertures and simplified joins that keep counters clear at small sizes. The letterforms lean consistently to the right and show a compact, efficient rhythm, with a notably large x-height in the lowercase. Curves are broad and geometric (especially in C/O/S), while diagonals and terminals remain blunt and sturdy, giving the whole set a solid, engineered feel.
This face suits dense, structured text where alignment and consistency matter, such as UI labels, settings screens, dashboards, and tabular readouts. Its strong weight and open forms also make it effective for headings in technical documentation, posters with a utilitarian tone, and wayfinding-style short messages.
The overall tone feels practical and workmanlike—more tool-like than expressive—while the slant adds a subtle sense of motion. Its sturdy shapes and no-nonsense spacing read as contemporary and technical, suitable for functional interfaces and structured layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, legible, and consistently spaced typographic voice with a modern slant—prioritizing clarity, uniform rhythm, and dependable emphasis over decorative detail.
Figures are straightforward and sturdy, matching the text weight and maintaining a uniform cadence across lines. The design emphasizes clarity through wide counters and simple construction, producing a consistent texture in paragraphs.
